“Why is the contradiction of being a genius but a pain in the ass so human?”
(Auto-translated from Japanese)
My Story
I borrowed a book from a friend and started reading it. At first I read it because Naruto was the main character, but the moment Shikamaru came out, I knew he was the character. He has no strong motives or passionate feelings, he just says he is a pain in the ass, but in fact he thinks about his friends more than anyone else. His decision to deliberately lose the chunin exam and his match with Temari are all based on calculation, but he never says, "I thought of that. That balance was close to my ideal image of a human being. Even now that I am a working adult, there are times when "meh-hoo" comes out of my mouth. I sometimes say it while thinking about Shikamaru. But Shikamaru, while he says it's a pain in the ass, does it right in the end. I want to be the same way.
Favorite scene / line
The scene where Sikamar hears of the death of his father, Sikak, and cries alone before standing up. His back, swallowing his emotions and returning to his mission. The word "cool" is not enough.
Stories I'd love to see
I would like to read the story behind Shikamaru's work as an assistant to the dark side and the firelight, it is depicted a bit in BORUTO, but in more depth. What is Shikamaru thinking between the darkness of the organization and his personal ethics.
